In an effort to distribute energy conservation affordably, Ecoflats maximizes photo-voltaic and solar thermal energy generation and relies on orientation, natural ventilation, access to light and air, and day lighting to harness state-of-the-art technology bolstered by both common sense and old-world knowledge. Individual screens in the lobby display each unit’s energy consumption, providing extra incentive for individual environmental responsibility. The project has been recognized by Portland Monthly, The New York Times, Portland Business Journal, and NPR Multi-family news. Siteworks was able to secure funding and incentives through BETC tax credits, PDC Gap financing, and the Oregon Energy Trust.
